little osprey
#

this too

earnest olive
#

i would not buy 3000C16 ram if you're buying Z490 though

muted patio
#

Well

#

10400

#

?

earnest olive
#

also i really hope you aren't intending to use this pc with no ssd

little osprey
#

maybe 3200 cl16

earnest olive
#

3600C16 is not very expensive

little osprey
#

idk at this point, maybe just 500g boot drive instead of 2tb hdd

#

im bound to 850 usd

earnest olive
#

that's a 5400RPM drive

muted patio
#

Can you mismatch stuff on Intel like that? IE, CPu rated 2933 but 3600 in the board?

earnest olive
#

what?

#

like

#

3600mhz ram on b460?

#

it'll work, just not at 3600

muted patio
#

No

#

lol

#

10400 rated at 2933 ram speed right?

earnest olive
#

no

#

2666

muted patio
#

Ok, that

earnest olive
#

that's just official spec though

muted patio
#

can you put 3600 in and run it at 3600 though?

earnest olive
#

you can pair 4000mhz ram with a 10400

#

if your board works with it

little osprey
#

better?

muted patio
#

Got it

#

AMD doesn't like doing that, it's why I asked

earnest olive
#

nah

#

zen2/3 official spec is 3200mhz

#

im running 3800mhz rock solid stable

muted patio
#

ehm

#

3600

earnest olive
#

nope

muted patio
#

match 1800 FCLK

earnest olive
muted patio
#

That's not Zen 2

earnest olive
#

zen 2 and 3 both say the same

muted patio
#

pffff

#

that means nothing

earnest olive
#

exactly my point

#

neither does intel official spec

#

😛

muted patio
#

That's why I asked!!

#

Sheesh

little osprey
#

ok this is what I ended up with

muted patio
#

I didn't know if Intel was like AMD

earnest olive
#

the Z490-A PRO is a better board than the Gigabyte UD

little osprey
#

good to know

earnest olive
#

Z490-A PRO is the best out of the budget Z490 lineup

little osprey
#

either of you know anything about the montech case?

earnest olive
#

montech x1 is pretty bad

#

i would not get it

little osprey
#

probably better options for that price right

earnest olive
#

the fans are daisy chained molex so you can't control the lighting OR the speed

#

according to yams cable management in it is also pretty horrible

#

classic example of you get what you pay for

little osprey
#

h500i bad too right

earnest olive
#

if 3600C16 is out of budget then 3600C18 is still better than 3200C16

little osprey
#

why is that? I believe you but it sounds pretty counter intuitive to me

earnest olive
#

same effective latency but higher clock speed means higher throughput

little osprey
#

i see

earnest olive
#

crucial P2 is a dramless drive with hmb, i'd prefer something with dram

little osprey
#

I really need to learn more about ram lol

#

anything with dram at 50usd?

earnest olive
#

crucial mx500 is $49

#

this psu is not great if you have upgrading in mind

#

definitely not something you'd want to stick a 3070 in

little osprey
#

yeah, guy just wants to play fortnite lmao

earnest olive
#

it will be fine for the current setup but you mentioned wanting upgradability

little osprey
#

that's perfect

#

thanks

earnest olive
#

no problem, enjoy

stoic island
#

what's the opposite of dramless

#

drammore?

#

dramful?

earnest olive
#

asking the hard hitting questions here

slender owl
#

Why won’t rocket league go above 45fps? I have a 3060ti. I keep it maxed at 60fps and it would do that until today. It’s only rocket league. Not sure if this is the right channel to ask in

earnest olive
#

first check if there are any frame caps in settings

slender owl
#

Not in game no

muted patio
#

CPU?

slender owl
#

Frame cap at 60*

#

7 3700x

earnest olive
#

latest drivers?

slender owl
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

Did you upgrade the GPU or is this a fresh build?

quasi ferry
#

What is your monitor set to?

severe axle
#

@slender owl try swapping back from fullscreen/borderless

little osprey
#

What’s a good price for R9 390

slender owl
#

Fixed it.

earnest olive
#

similar perf to RX 580 8GB, probably $150 on current market @little osprey

slender owl
#

Was set to 4K. Changed it to 1440p earlier and it didn’t work but now it does lol

quasi ferry
#

Interesting

muted patio
#

That explains things

little osprey
earnest olive
#

i'd imagine 3060ti is capable of 45 fps at 4k in rocket league

slender owl
#

45 max

earnest olive
#

yeah the fury x still beats the r9 390

slender owl
#

Also a 55inch tv lol

#

Waiting on monitor

earnest olive
#

just looked up a benchmark of a dude with i5-10400f and 3060ti

little osprey
earnest olive
#

he's getting 340 fps avg on rocket league at 1440p max settings

quasi ferry
#

Size doesn't matter just resolution

muted patio
#

vram =/= speed

earnest olive
#

im sure >45 is doable at 4k

deep skiff
#

vram doesnt mean perf

little osprey
#

I know

earnest olive
#

doesn't the fury have HBM

little osprey
#

It was just a statement

little osprey
deep skiff
#

afaik yeah hbm1

muted patio
#

Lol, people never use ? so I assume everything is a question XD

earnest olive
#

this guy is getting 120-140 fps at 4k max settings with a 2080

slender owl
#

Screen size?

muted patio
#

Size doesn't matter, only resolution

earnest olive
#

screen size has zero impact on performance

winged tinsel
#

When I’m gaming my cpu is averaging 80 degrees is that bad?

muted patio
#

But TV vs monitor is different

earnest olive
#

sounds about right

deep skiff
#

eh its fine

slender owl
#

I am on a tv

muted patio
#

Stock cooler 80 is fine

earnest olive
#

80 is fine on aftermarket coolers too

#

zen 3 tends to run a bit hotter than zen 2 despite lower PPT

winged tinsel
#

Will it hurt my cpu?

earnest olive
#

AMD had to release a statement saying the 5600X hitting 90C on stock cooler is perfectly normal

winged tinsel
#

I’m on a 5600x

#

Oh my nickname

quasi ferry
#

Lol

winged tinsel
#

Lmao

muted patio
#

no it won't hurt it

winged tinsel
#

Thanks for the help

earnest olive
#

the 5600X is rated for 95C

blazing pilot
muted patio
#

Stock cooler?

#

It's fine

blazing pilot
#

r they the same whats the difference am worried the my first build

cursive wharf
#

idk, I'd get gammaxx over the id cooling unless better price personally

stoic island
#

gammaxx 400 time

cursive wharf
#

if dont want stock at least, which stock is fine

stoic island
#

Stock gets a bit hot, but not damaging, and won't give you any boosting headroom

earnest olive
#

i'm a big fan of the se-224-xt

stoic island
#

I'm a big fan of the gammaxx 400

earnest olive
#

they give you like $6 worth of thermal paste with it

#

and idling at 1C over ambient is cool

#

mounting is pretty straightforward

#

and it's very quiet

little osprey
cursive wharf
#

not really, no

muted patio
#

5600/3080 is honestly fine

earnest olive
#

5600x is more than enough to pair with a 3080 at 1080p

muted patio
#

Even 1440p

earnest olive
#

i'm pairing my 3080 with a 3600x at 1440p

cursive wharf
#

also note, you can do a lot with 650w

earnest olive
#

psu is fine

#

would replace the ssd though

#

also that ram hasn't actually been in stock for a long time

little osprey
earnest olive
#

b&h just lying

muted patio
#

650w for 3080?

little osprey
#

650 seems low

earnest olive
#

lol

#

that chart equates i5 and ryzen 5

#

instantly discarded

#

i5-10600K PL2 = 182W
R5 5600X PPT = 76W

#

don't you dare call that equal power consumption

cursive wharf
#

here is an example:
5950x: 150w
3080: 390w
rest of sys: 100w

That's 640w total. Note that good PSUs like the AMP can do 10% overload just fine. So 650w AMP can do 710w usage sustained rather fine. Sure 750w isnt bad, but not really needed

#

there are still cases of like a Strix 3080 having a 450w PL

#

but then again, also on a 5600x instead of 5950x, so there is more overhead for those things

earnest olive
#

FE has a power limit of 370W

cursive wharf
#

Also that rest of sys reaching 100w is kinda hard too

earnest olive
#

me with 40W of rgb: PensiveClown

cursive wharf
#

FE says 370w but I thought still went to 390w in testing? or was that 3090?

earnest olive
#

it sticks pretty close to its hard power limit

#

i have the 3080 vision with a hard power limit of 350W

muted patio
#

Kinda

earnest olive
#

highest i've seen it go was 357

#

transient spikes can go higher

#

but good psus are designed to deal with them

cursive wharf
#

yeah pretty much

earnest olive
#

and phanteks amp is pretty damn good

cursive wharf
#

unless tripping OCP transient spikes can go decently high without issue

stoic island
#

can't wait until one day PSUs like g3 without OCP becomes a feature

cursive wharf
#

well, 3090 ftw3... kinda?

earnest olive
#

even if we take the worst case 489.1W spike, the rest of the system has to be drawing 84.9 to even see 650W for that <1 ms

cursive wharf
#

tho then again, you kinda want ocp for ftw3 else it'll kill the card

earnest olive
#

and with a single gen 3 drive and 3 rgb fans that's unlikely

cursive wharf
earnest olive
#

my led strips total 19.2W

quasi ferry
#

Ooof

earnest olive
#

not sure about the fans or water block

little osprey
#

Water cooled cpu and a 1050??

earnest olive
#

i have 4 12V led strips that draw 0.4A each

random rapids
#

is a x570 that much beter then a b550?

muted patio
#

not really

cursive wharf
#

Five fans (no rgb) add like 4w, as many fans then they aren't spinning that high tho

little osprey

Scored 4x8gb 3600 cl16 for $200 👌

stoic island

#

Hey so i built my pc, and everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that my gpu fan isnt spinning

blazing aurora
#

i have a completed build and i just need a graphics card. should i wait for 3060ti restocks or should i get a used 2080/super?

lusty gazelle
#

Any advice?

blazing aurora
#

maybe you didn't plug in all the cables tight enough

little osprey
#

Is it under low load

lusty gazelle
#

not sure

#

how do i check

little osprey
#

CTRL ALT DEL

#

Select task manager

#

Check usage

lusty gazelle
#

also i checked the task manager it dont show up on there idk why tho

#

everything seems firmly connected

little osprey
#

Did you install drivers

lusty gazelle
#

No how do i do that

#

Kinda new to this whole thing lol

little osprey
#

Wut Gpu do you have

lusty gazelle
#

Gigabyte Vision 3070

muted patio
#

Yeah, that one has a fan stop feature

little osprey
muted patio
#

Fans won't run if it's under 40C

#

Actually, 45C sorry

lusty gazelle
#

o

muted patio
#

Still do what kohlton says and get drivers

lusty gazelle
#

So do i have to install all the drivers for it first and than it shows up on my task manager?

#

alr ty guys

hollow grail
austere flicker
#

@earnest olive Yes, I also used DDU and have started trying all the versions that have released for the 3000 series.

#

@muted patio Is there any way to fix it?

muted patio
#

Fix what?

#

I'm missing something

#

Fix the power spikes?

#

Not until nVidia releases a new VBIOS or something

glacial umbra
#

hey, so I'm done building my pc and it turns on for a second and then it turns off, can someone help me?

verbal quarry
#

whats the difference between the 2700x and the 3700x?

muted patio
#

IPC, new processor generation

verbal quarry
#

ok so spend the $80 to get it\

muted patio
#

in other words, 3700x ismore efficient

#

Over the 2700?

#

I would

verbal quarry
#

yea

#

ok

muted patio
#

I have one

#

It's beastly

quasi ferry
#

The only reason I got the 2700x instead of the 3700x is because it was $120 at that time... I think. Let me look

muted patio
#

SOunds right if a little cheap

glacial umbra
quasi ferry
#

It was right after the 3700 launch

muted patio
#

Did you leave it on to see if it was a boot loop or just programming?

neon swan
#

Bru

blazing pilot
muted patio
#

Leave it on, it will turn on and off a couple times while it checks RAM, that's normal for a first boot

glacial umbra
#

it won't boot at all

#

like it turns off instantly

muted patio
#

As soon as you let go of the button?

glacial umbra
#

yeah

muted patio
#

Bet

neon swan
#

Can someone help with my pc not booting? I have a ltt forum with all the info but it’s not allowed

muted patio
#

Check your front panel connectors

quasi ferry
#

Wired wrong?

#

^^

glacial umbra
#

ok one sec

muted patio
#

Reset and Power might be backwards

#

DM link, I'll post it

#

@neon swan DM me the link I'll post it

neon swan
#

Thanks

muted patio
#

Oof

#

Stops at DRAM light with T-Force ram?

#

#

What slots are they in? Should be A2/B2, not side by side

neon swan
#

Ik

#

Read comments

#

Has more info

muted patio
#

Working for a year until now

blazing pilot
#

may somè1 help me

#

some

muted patio
#

Tried more ram, didn't work

#

Did you reset the CMOS per the last comment?

neon swan
#

That is the think where you remove battery?

muted patio
#

@blazing pilot Stock cooler is honestly fine or get the GAMMAX 400

#

yes, battery removal

#

For a power supply, get a COrsair CX 750W, RM 750. hard to know what's available in your country though

#

Seasonic FOcus or Core 750W

glacial umbra
#

um ok so I rewired the power switch and the same issue

muted patio
#

Phanteks AMP 750W, good quality 750W psu

#

Rewired?

glacial umbra
muted patio
#

And was it on the wrong pins or?

glacial umbra
#

no

quasi ferry
#

Try hitting the reset switch?

muted patio
#

CPU 8 pin power is plugged in?

#

So what I'm getting is you push the button, fans half spin then nothing happens?

glacial umbra
#

yeah lights up for a second, fans start spinning and then it stops instantly and turns off

muted patio
#

Any motherboard error LED's?

#

What CPU and motherboard?

glacial umbra
#

2600 with b450

muted patio
#

which B450?

#

I'll grab a manbual

glacial umbra
#

ok so error leds turn on but

muted patio
#

turn back off again?

glacial umbra
#

it says dram and cpu

#

I switched out ram already though

muted patio
#

Take it out entirely

#

It won't POST but fans should stay running

glacial umbra
#

WOOOO BABY

#

I feel stupid because I missed it when it first checked

muted patio
#

And?

glacial umbra
#

but the 24pin wasnt in

#

it wasn't fully in but in enough to switch off and on

muted patio
#

XD

#

Well

#

it happens

glacial umbra
#

thanks for the help man

muted patio
#

YW

glacial umbra
#

I do have another issue though

#

I'm having trouble getting my gpu in

plush mist
#

just line it up

muted patio
#

Yeah, those can be wonky

plush mist
#

what part of it is having trouble

glacial umbra
#

I'll try again but it feels like it's scratching the motherboard of the side

muted patio
#

Make sure the slot is lined up with the fine

plush mist
#

no thats def wrong

#

you shouldnt be scraching the mobo

glacial umbra
#

like the

muted patio
#

I may sound scritchy when it goes in, that's the pins rubbing on the contacts

glacial umbra
#

back things

#

the umm

plush mist
#

port area?

glacial umbra
#

damn what're those things called I forget

#

yeah the thing with the ports

muted patio
#

The PCI-E slot?

#

It might scritch a little when it goes in

plush mist
#

it should go inbetween the case metal and the mobo

muted patio
#

Those are the contacts making contact

glacial umbra
#

alright let me try again

plush mist
#

like its a very tight narrow space

muted patio
#

Looks like we lost PRESS to a voice chat

#

Oh well

glacial umbra
#

alright thanks

muted patio
#

Ye, sounds funny but it's normal

glacial umbra
#

ok

#

so it seems I can't fully push it in

#

like I don't wanna push hard on it because of that scratching sound

muted patio
#

usually I find the little tabs up front are what holds it up

#

Where it meets the case

glacial umbra
#

alright

#

thanks so much it's up!

earnest olive
#

wanted to add

#

one time I had a new graphics card with the little steel tab in the back bent a little bit

#

like behind the display outputs

#

I just bent it back and it fit

#

was going to suggest it until you said the issue was resolved

glacial umbra
#

ah thanks anyways 👍👍

@cursive wharf if your rgb isn't literally the sun then you don't have enough rgb

cursive wharf
#

I mean, I do have another 10 rgb fans like that

#

three rgb GPU blocks

#

two more rgb cpu blocks (so could do dual CPU mobo)

no rgb contact lenses?

by that I mean the rgb screen

blazing aurora
#

is the corsair cx 550 a good psu?

muted patio
#

CX is yeah

#

as long as there's no M

cursive wharf
#

M stands for coil whine

blazing aurora
#

no M

cursive wharf
#

cuz it's a upside down W

blazing aurora
#

that's the psu

little osprey
#

that is a decent psu for a low-mid range build

stoic island
#

that's the CX

#

it's a good PSU

little osprey
#

ye

#

generally
there is also the EVGA BR
and the S12III as a alternative option

muted patio
#

S12III pls no

cursive wharf
#

I'd go for those PSUs on lower budget tho

stoic island
#

s12iii no no no

cursive wharf
#

S12III only "good" with 550w/650w

stoic island
#

s12iii is like br

#

cx is above

cursive wharf
#

S12III 500w and less is bad

little osprey
earnest olive
#

isn't the S12III worse than BR?

#

tier list has it as D- tier

#

all wattages

stoic island
#

Hm I didn't even notice tier list moved it down

earnest olive
#

hasn't it been there for a while

stoic island
#

I personally put br over s12iii because I hears about s12iii higher failure rate

muted patio

i've been pairing BRs with 1650S/1660 class cards without issue

Question. So y’all know the i7 10700ka and i9 10850ka

#

The avengers processors

#

Does it show up in task manager as KA or just K

#

My bets are on it just shows K

earnest olive
# little osprey My bets are on it just shows K

statement from intel: "The listing reference is related to an upcoming partner promotion featuring 10th Gen Intel Core processors. The “KA” designation is an ordering code only and not a new processor SKU."

#

it's just a regular i7-10700K in a different box

#

IHS still says 10700K

winged tinsel
#

My ram is 3600 speed but on NZXT cam it says the default frequency is 1066Mhz is that normal????

earnest olive
#

yeah

#

do you have to use nzxt cam though?

winged tinsel
#

I use it because it’s easy

earnest olive
#

are you using it to control any nzxt products

winged tinsel
#

Yep

earnest olive
#

cause it's really bad as a monitoring software

winged tinsel
#

Case fans and lights

#

Could you recommended me a good monitoring software real quick

earnest olive
#

hwinfo64

#

always

stoic island
#

aida64 other times than always

#

and cpuz for ram info

earnest olive
#

hwinfo64 covers monitoring ram

blazing aurora
#

should i buy the 2070/2070S or wait for the 3060ti to restock

stoic island
#

hm ok

blazing aurora
#

my pc is built but i just need a gpu

quasi ferry
#

3060ti

#

What cpu?

blazing aurora
#

10400

#

and the 3060ti stock has been spotty, as you likely know

quasi ferry
#

Does that have an igpu

#

?

blazing aurora
#

yep

quasi ferry
#

I would use that until I could get the 3060ti.

blazing aurora
#

alrighty

#

if worse comes to worst the 2070 isn't a bad deal at $350 right?

next kestrel
#

not the worst deal, not the best deal

quasi ferry
#

Or how much is the 3060?

#

Ti

blazing aurora
#

$400

quasi ferry
#

I had a 2070 before my 2080s and it was a noticable difference

#

I would say try for the 3060.

stoic island
#

2070 at 350$ is iffy

blazing aurora
#

$330?

stoic island
#

wouldn't say it's a great deal since 3060ti exists

quasi ferry
#

Maybe 300

stoic island
#

300$ more like it

blazing aurora
#

yeah that sounds right

stoic island
#

used 2070, closer to like 270$ imo

winged tinsel
stoic island
#

300$ good nuff tho

#

all of them

#

fosshub is good

winged tinsel
#

What are the differences?

stoic island
#

they're different mirrors

#

for the same download

How much do you have to spend?

winged tinsel

@blazing aurora

stoic island

@quasi ferry 3060ti restocks are actually decent though

Have you seen rx 6000 restocks?

Me neither

mr1111 are you using a 30 series card

No

(commenting on the AMD card before 3060 restocks)

quasi ferry

I haven't been keeping up with restocks.. I don't really need to upgrade.. and if a saw them in stock I might want to lol

Amd seems to be struggling more than Nvidia on the GPU side (stock wise)

I might get the 3080ti when it comes out

Hey, what’s the difference between plugging your HDMI plug into the MOBO and GPU

#

Should I get 2 HDMI wires?

still bay
#

if its in ur mobo itll use ur CPU's integrated graphics (if it has them)

#

if its in ur GPU it'll use ur gpu

#

always plug it into ur gpu

raw crane
#

Ah gotchyaaa

#

Thank you

still bay
#

theres only 1 case where u wouldnt plug it into ur gpu and its if u have one of those locked crypto mining cards and u have to pass through it to ur mobo

but thats very advanced and different

yeah plug it into ur gpu

Yeah idk what that is, I’ll learn about it tho

I was wishing I bought a prebuilt when I tried to screw in the motherboard lmao

broke the sata cable and then it got stuck in my ssd

I was so confused on what screws go where

the manual did NOT help

no it doesn't

because the pictures all looked the same

i just got it bc it has more fans i think lol

I changed all my fans to Corsair ML140's

ive got wallpaper engine anyways for wheb i build my new one anyways

does wallpaper engine work without a windows key?

uneven mist

but i might just buy a key anyways so i feel legit hahah

little osprey

There are some security benefits to having a key as well

uneven mist

well it would bc it runs of steam cole

glacial umbra

does wallpaper engine cause performance issues?

uneven mist

it cost like 3$ of steam xd

and nope

I've heard a lot about it being really annoying

Barely any

my budget is 2k

including the monitor mouse keyboard prob headphones

Get P1 if you're on a budget, or if not get an mp34 or sn750 or evo lineup

Whatever is cheapest at the time

It's a bit expensive unless you're going to be overclocking a lot

strong bolt

#

Ah

#

K, I'll find another one

#

Wifi or nah?

#

Is having that port on the front of your case worth $300 to you? That's going to be the going rate looks like. Tons have the port on the back which are much more affordable

#

I mean, I have that connector in my case too but just didn't hook it up. It's not required, just a nice to have. So if it's worth the $300 cost to you, go for it.

I wouldn't buy T-Force ram

#

Stick with Crucial, Gskill, etc

silver halo
#

I'm new with PC components, can you help me understand why T-Force is a bad option? What about the rest of the components are they ok?

muted patio
#

Their ram tends to be lower quality chips

#

This is less expensive and has RGB too

#

If RGB doesn't concern you, this is $20 less for good ram

silver halo
#

I don't mind RGB leds, I would prefer one without RGB leds

muted patio
#

Second link then

#

Really good ram

silver halo
#

awesome, thanks

muted patio
#

Also, I'd go with a better power supply. That one only has a Tier C rating

silver halo
#

which tier is the recommended one?

muted patio
#

Tier B or higher if you're using expensive graphics cards

#

Preferably Tier A but that will be pricey

silver halo
#

👍

muted patio
#

Don't risk $2500 worth of graphics cards on a cheap power supply

cool, I didn't know about that

literally god tier

idle lantern
#

could u go with a 500w PSU?

hollow grail
#

the home version is free but i used it at work ALL THE TIME

idle lantern
#

lower the price a bit

wanton cliff
# idle lantern could u go with a 500w PSU?

600w doesn’t cost too much more, and better for future proofing. Also, 500w comes a bit close to recommended PSU, and power on Nvidia cards does spike often. If that happens, it will draw more power than a 500w unit can provide

And promptly shut off
